with, keeping gambling house, and had, as
part oftheir finding, declared that the prose-

purpose OF passing sentence upon him, 20
the effect that he pay said costs or stand com

failure to answer the Court inquired of the
District Attorney who the bail OF the prose
eutor was, and upon being informed that the
Justice had not required Diener TO enter into
any recognizance Judge Johnston remarkad ::
II is a crime for Justices to take informa-
tons from such characters as this man Diener
